Clinical trials

Study Design: This two-arm parallel trial will randomize 12 families to receive 6-weeks of medically tailored meals or produce prescriptions. Both groups will receive nutrition coaching, weekly during the intervention. The hypothesis is that both interventions to have a positive impact on food security and fruit and vegetable intake. However, medically tailored meals also reduce the logistic barriers of planning, preparing, and calculating the carbohydrate content of nutritionally balanced meals essential for DM management. Therefore, the medically tailored meal intervention will result in greater improvements in the co-primary outcomes of diet quality and glucose stability after the intervention.
